Can we presume this one is an illustrious April Fool's product? I can't imagine a need for 2,100 words, let alone 7,000, to detail the use of hunks of wood and lumps of rock in combat.
Hmmmmm... we're releasing it on April 1st. If it's not big enough to warrant an entire book, then it'll be an article in the Bride of a Portable Hole (working title... also considering Attack of the Portable Hole, Revenge of the Portable Hole, etc.- suggestions welcome).
It is not completely a joke, however. Sure, the section on stones will include a revisiting of the Bowler class from Portable Hole Full of Beer as well as a new prestige class, the Chuckster. But if you ignore the beer-drinking component of the Bowler, it's actually a quite usable Prestige Class, especially for huge sized creatures. The Chuckster is going to be someone who specifies in throwing rocks... basically something every halfling should take a look at, although hill giants may be interested in it as well.
Might even include stuff about trebuchets & catapults.
Maybe a sidebar for prehistoric game players. And/or improvised weapons.
As for sticks, there'll be stuff about sticks for whacking (clubs and staves), and then we'll investigate the innovation of pointed sticks (spears & stakes).
I'm also thinking of a section about harsh language.
So yeah, I think it could fill a book's worth.
